Chuck Lever dd4564715e SUNRPC: Rename skb_reader_t and friends
Clean-up:  hch suggested that the RPC client shouldn't pollute the name
space used by the generic skb manipulation routines in net/core/skbuff.c.

Rename a couple of types in xdr.h to adhere to this convention.

Chuck Lever 9d29231690 SUNRPC: skb_read_bits is the same as xs_tcp_copy_data
Clean-up: eliminate xs_tcp_copy_data -- it's exactly the same logic as the
common routine skb_read_bits.  The UDP and TCP socket read code now share
the same routine for copying data into an xdr_buf.

Now that skb_read_bits() is exported, rename it to avoid confusing it with
a generic skb_* function.  As these functions are XDR-specific, they should
not have names that suggest they are of generic use.  Also rename
skb_read_and_csum_bits() to be consistent.

For now we will assume that all transports will use the address format
buffers in the rpc_xprt struct to store their addresses.  Change
rpc_peer2str() to be a generic routine to handle this, and get rid of the
print_address() op in the rpc_xprt_ops vector.

Also, remove an unnecessary check to see whether the caller is capable of

that a nonprivileged port is acceptable.

Chuck Lever b85d880684 SUNRPC: select privileged port numbers at random
Make the RPC client select privileged ephemeral source ports at
random.  This improves DRC behavior on the server by using the
same port when reconnecting for the same mount point, but using
a different port for fresh mounts.

The Linux TCP implementation already does this for nonprivileged
ports.  Note that TCP sockets in TIME_WAIT will prevent quick reuse
of a random ephemeral port number by leaving the port INUSE until
the connection transitions out of TIME_WAIT.

mount points.  Locking especially.

Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management

 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,

 transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

Chuck Lever 12a804698b [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transports
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
 choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
 the transport itself provides it.

 The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
 RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
 together.  This method provides proper request serialization and the
 opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
 transport is congested.

 The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
 itself.  Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
 years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
 is much better than doing it in the RPC client.  Thus TCP, and probably
 every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
 xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
 of congestion control.  UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
 Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

 Test-plan:
 Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.  Look for significant
 regression in performance or client stability.

Chuck Lever fe3aca290f [PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeouts
Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout
 to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit
 timeouts.

 Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a
 simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round-
 trip estimator.

Chuck Lever 43118c29de [PATCH] RPC: get rid of xprt->stream
Now we can fix up the last few places that use the "xprt->stream"
 variable, and get rid of it from the rpc_xprt structure.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.

Chuck Lever 808012fbb2 [PATCH] RPC: skip over transport-specific heads automatically
Add a generic mechanism for skipping over transport-specific headers
 when constructing an RPC request.  This removes another "xprt->stream"
 dependency.

 Test-plan:
 Write-intensive workload on a single mount point (try both UDP and
 TCP).

Chuck Lever 262965f53d [PATCH] RPC: separate TCP and UDP socket write paths
Split the RPC client's main socket write path into a TCP version and a UDP
 version to eliminate another dependency on the "xprt->stream" variable.

 Compiler optimization removes unneeded code from xs_sendpages, as this
 function is now called with some constant arguments.

 We can now cleanly perform transport protocol-specific return code testing
 and error recovery in each path.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization such as
 "sio" or "iozone".  Examine oprofile results for any changes before and
 after this patch is applied.

Create separate connection worker functions for managing UDP and TCP
 transport sockets.  This eliminates several dependencies on "xprt->stream".

 Keep the common pieces of this path in xprt.c so other transports can use
 it too.
